If you can believe it, President Donald Trump is at it again, because of course he is.
And now, he’s decided to sue CBS for a whopping $20 billion over a Kamala Harris interview on “60 Minutes” that he claims was deceptively edited.
But, naturally, the network is fighting back.
It turns out that CBS lawyers are planning to demand Trump’s personal finance information, which, let’s be real, is probably a treasure trove of interesting details.
And, apparently, they also want to know more about the financials of his 2024 campaign organizations and the Trump Media & Technology Group, because why not?
But, I mean, can you imagine having to sift through all of that, it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
According to the lawsuit, Trump claims that CBS edited the interview to make Harris look better and avoid her “word salads,” which, honestly, is just a nice way of saying she sometimes says things that don’t make sense.
And, of course, Trump’s lawyers are saying that this was all a ploy to “tip the scales” in favor of Democrats ahead of the 2024 election, because that’s not a conspiracy theory at all.
But, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how this all plays out, maybe over some popcorn.
The judge overseeing the case, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, is a Trump appointee, which, naturally, has raised some eyebrows, because clear bias and prejudice are totally not a thing.
And, as if that wasn’t enough, Trump’s lawsuit is also claiming that CBS engaged in “unfair competition” against his Truth Social network, because apparently, that’s a thing now.
But, seriously, who comes up with this stuff, it’s like they’re trying to win friends and influence people or something.
On a completely unrelated note, has anyone seen that new meme going around, it’s hilarious, but, I digress.
Back to the matter at hand, it seems that Trump’s lawyers are having a bit of a rough time, what with the whole data breach thing and all.
But, hey, at least they’re consistent, right, I mean, who needs cybersecurity when you’ve got Dogecoin.
Anyway, where was I, ah yes, Trump’s lawsuit, so it seems that CBS is not having it, and rightly so, because, let’s be real, this is just getting ridiculous.
And, as if that wasn’t enough, the network is also saying that Trump is just “judge shopping” and trying to get the case heard in Texas, because, you know, that’s not a conflict of interest at all.
But, hey, when you’re a billionaire, you can pretty much do whatever you want, right.
In conclusion, this whole ordeal is just a giant hot mess, and I’m just here for the popcorn.
And, honestly, who knows how this will all play out, but one thing’s for sure, it’ll be an interesting ride, so buckle up, folks, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
But, in all seriousness, it’s just another day in the world of politics, where the truth is whatever you want it to be, and facts are just optional.
